Urban Seminar 2013

Hello bloggers! Now that I don't have to write specifically about class projects, I'm going to blog about this trip that I am taking. I am a part of the 2013 group of students who are taking a trip to Philadelphia to gain teaching experience in an urban setting. Philadelphia is a new place and I am really excited to be here. If you want to read what I'm experiencing here, please check out the page at the top of this blog labeled "Urban Seminar 2013." It is right next to the tab that says "My 21st Century Classroom." There is nothing up just yet, but please keep checking back for more!

Digital Citizenship inside an Elementary setting

Digital citizenship is simply about "teaching users the rules of good citizenship online; this usually includes email etiquette, protecting private information, staying safe online, and how to deal with bullying, whether you're a target or a bystander" ("American School in London"). As a future teacher, I want to be in an elementary classroom, specifically in grades 1-3. I believe Digital Citizenship is extremely important to teach students how to use technology and the internet safely. This project involved using Prezi to be able to answer five questions that were provided. Those questions can be seen inside the presentation itself. Enjoy!
